What to Do After an Accident: Initial, Immediate Tips to Strengthen Your Case

Call the Police

Make sure the local authorities appear on the scene, and record their names and badge numbers. Ask that a police report be completed right away.

Do Not Admit Fault

Your adrenaline, fear, and shock preclude you from giving a proper statement regarding your involvement in the accident.

Record Evidence

Cellphones provide the perfect opportunity to record pictures of the crash, the scene, and any damage to the vehicles.

Exchange Information

Your cellphone can also record the other driver’s license plate, insurance card, driver’s license, and registration. Provide your information in the same fashion, or write down the details for the other driver.

Stay at the Accident Site

Never leave the scene of an accident unless it is a medical emergency. Contact one of our attorneys right away while still at the scene, and we will meet you there quickly.

Request Copies of the Accident Report

The Atlanta Police Department provides stellar responses to accidents. But it is important not to assume everyone is on the same page when it comes to the accident report. Often, multiple police cars will report to an accident, and there should be no confusion about which officer is completing the report.

Do not leave the scene without a copy of the completed report.

Dispute any inaccuracies immediately, so they do not hinder your case going forward.

After the Scene is Cleared

Seek Medical Care Immediately

Go to the nearest hospital when you leave the scene of the accident. Do not go anywhere else first.

Describe Your Condition, Injuries and Complaints Verbally

It is important that the medical providers understand your injuries fully, and record your complaints clearly so they can be reviewed by our legal team.

Call Your Insurance Company

Consider this a courtesy call, alerting your insurance company that there has been an accident. Do not admit fault. Simply provide the facts, and explain that more information will be available soon.

Contact The Marks Law Office

If one of our attorneys hasn’t already met you at the scene of the accident, call us from the hospital and we will meet you there to begin discussing your case. We will be available the moment you are able to contact our firm.

A tragic, and completely preventable, accident happened in West Memphis, Arkansas, this Monday when 5-year-old Christopher Gardner, Jr died after being left in a van belonging to Ascent Children’s Health Services.

Four Ascent employees have been charged with manslaughter in connection to the child’s death, but the transportation broker, #Southeastrans, continues to be responsible for getting children to Medicaid-funded therapy at Ascent West Memphis. Southeastrans is subject to a 13-point corrective action plan, but it is unclear at this point what consequences it will face should it fail to perform as required.

Sadly, Southeastrans continues to operate largely without consequence for the negligent, and at times grossly negligent, behavior of its transportation providers. Southeastrans is a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) broker. These brokers frequently look to avoid responsibility for their transportation partners’ negligence by claiming they merely provide training, and not the actual transportation. However, #NEMT broker training and supervision is clearly insufficient if these preventable accidents keep happening. ...
